What is Pixalytica and how does it work?

In simple words, Pixalytica is a tool that generates reports about a person based on just a photo of their face.

Pixalytica’s reports contain:

  • Facial search results with URL sources (all mentions of that face found online)
  • Summary of all the information found about the person online
  • A risk score based on found information
  • PEP (Politically Exposed Person) status
  • Criminal mentions
  • Sanction records
  • Suspicious connections
  • Crypto activity
  • Fraud detection insights
  • Other “high-risk” mentions - adult industries, casinos, specific crimes etc.

These reports can be used in law enforcement for finding people online, checking their possible connections and locations, and verifying identities of unknown individuals.

What law enforcement agencies can benefit from Pixalytica?

Pixalytica is the perfect tool to use for law enforcement agencies, police, federal agencies and others.

Here are some very basic examples of situations where Pixalytica would be a perfect tool to use for different law enforcement agencies:

Sheriff’s offices - A sheriff’s office could use Pixalytica for a background check when checking a burglary case where the suspect’s face is seen on security footage. The tool could help compare the image with public online sources and find possible identity leads.

Federal investigative agencies - A federal agency could use Pixalytica for OSINT when checking a fraud group that uses fake names online. The tool could help find public profiles or images linked to the same person.

Border and immigration enforcement - Border officers could use Pixalytica for identity verification when a traveler’s documents look suspicious or do not match their face. The tool could help check if the person’s image appears online under another name.

Drug enforcement agencies - A drug enforcement team could use Pixalytica when a suspect appears in public photos linked to drug trafficking. The tool could help find related profiles, aliases, or online connections through OSINT.

Financial crime enforcement units - A financial crime unit could use Pixalytica for fraud prevention when checking someone suspected of opening bank or crypto accounts with fake names. The tool could support KYC reports, PEP & Sanction detection, and identity checks.

Corrections and parole/probation authorities - A parole officer could use Pixalytica for a background check if a supervised person may be using a hidden online profile. The tool could help find public images or aliases linked to that person.

Transit or railway enforcement - Transit enforcement could use Pixalytica for fraud prevention when checking repeat fare fraud or vandalism cases where the person was caught on station cameras. The tool could help find public image matches that support the case.

Environmental or wildlife enforcement - Wildlife officers could use Pixalytica when checking illegal animal trade and the seller’s face appears in online marketplace photos. The tool could help link that image to public profiles, listings, or other e-commerce sources.

Military police or gendarmerie - Military police could use Pixalytica for identity verification when checking a person who may have entered a restricted area with false documents. The tool could help compare the person’s image with public online sources.

Court marshals or bailiffs - Court marshals could use Pixalytica for verifying the identity of a person wanted for not appearing in court. The tool could support risk assessment by showing public-source matches before an enforcement action.
